Brexit: Boris Johnson's Brexit strategy is 'doomed to fail', says Scottish leader - by Nick Miller
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted he is “very confident”
he can strike a fresh Brexit deal with Brussels before the end of
October, as he spent a day north of Hadrian’s Wall trying to quell a
potential Brexit rebellion.

spends an increasing proportion of his time trying to keep another
together [the UK],” the IfG report said. “All nations will look to
Westminster to help cushion them against any economic fallout from no
deal.
